Looks like Genshin won some kinda Playstation awards, they're even sending us some extra primos as thanks over the next few days (to everyone above AR7, so basically everybody).
https://genshin.mihoyo.com/en/news/detail/17445
800 primos isn't a lot (5 pulls), but it's more than we usually get from things. 😅
-
Final Mission Accomplished! Cleared the eighth Dangerous Creature extermination. Skill Master Raised any stats to 999. Uniform Master Strengthened any uniform to its maximum. I wasn't expecting to get that far into post-game, I haven't increased my stats since around Lv100 (saving PP for NG+), but I was fighting enemies over Lv300. 😅 All that's left now is to clear NG+ & kill 10K Chimeras (currently only at 4K, so that'll require grinding even after NG+). I probably have plenty of PP saved up for my VH run by now, I should be able to start it with around 7-8K (enough to max out a stat if I wanted, as you can see from the above trophy).
-
[Dark Rose Valkyrie] I finished my first run, managed to beat it withing lowering the difficulty past hard (also got Coo's true end).
Now I have a lot of prep I need to do for my "very hard" run. I just made a discovery I don't think I've seen mentioned anywhere either (there's really not a lot of info around about this game)... Obviously a portion of your PP gets transferred to NG+ (40% for a hard run?), but what I haven't seen mentioned is that any unused BP gets converted & added to the pool as well. Meaning if I do some level grinding but don't spend any of my points afterwords, I can transfer a portion of all that as well (making my next run that much easier). 
I've already been kinda lazy upgrading my lesser used characters, so that's an extra 800 or so points right there. I'm pretty sure the PP system in Cross Edge worked the same way, so I'm glad I bothered checking it before I spent it all. 😅 Based on my hard run, very hard is probably going to suck either way, so I have to stockpile as much as possible before jumping into that...

@Yuna4353 The story is pretty good, I enjoyed that. Gameplay though can be a little tedious at times compared to the other CH games out there...
There's basically 3 attack stats in the game (melee, range, & special), & a lot of the skills are a hybrid mixture of 2, so it can be a little confusing at times deciding on what stat you wanna focus on. Also if you're under-leveled in your accuracy stat even slightly, it seems like 70% of your attacks start missing all the time.
The range of the AoE skills kinda suck too, there's barely any difference between a B rank skill & SS (you're lucky if you can even hit 3 enemies at a time with them). Also if a enemy decides to move & attack before it goes off, it completely screws up your targeting.
The boss fights are very cheap as well, in most cases I just had to charge my TP gauge to max in a normal battle beforehand so I could nuke the bosses on the first turn with specials. This is especially true in the end game, they love throwing 1-hit KO moves at you with tons of status ailments (sometimes before you even get a turn). 🤕
I could really only recommend it if you've played other CH games & are a fan of them. Gameplay is definitely on the lower end of the others, but I do think the story is worth it.

I started Dark Rose Valkyrie, I thought since it has a ton of free DLC, I could manage starting on "very hard" (usually free DLC for CH games give you some OP mid game equipment)... this was not the case. 😅 It started out okay, the first couple bosses were manageable, but I was only in chapter 2 when I was forced to lower it down to hard. I'm pretty sure very hard was designed specifically with NG+ in mind, & I think I heard there's supposed to be a huge difficulty spike towards the end, so I'm not even going to attempt that. 😂
Hopefully I don't have to lower it anymore, I know your difficulty effects what your level cap is. Don't know if it effects anything for NG+ carryover though?
-
Yeah, no. Very hard actually should be called Nightmare, cuz that's what it really is. I managed to do a single Very Hard Playthrough so i hope i can help with a few things, such as: be careful, reports show that your PP and Money only carry over a certain percentage of the total rather than stay in tact, and the percentage that carries over gets lower the lower the difficulty played on.
If you believe it or not...i had to buy paid DLC to beat this game, the 2nd PP one and the ultimate equipment set. Still barely managed against the final boss. Best of luck
-
Yeah, I kinda figured VH may be possible if I got the paid DLC, but I rather do 2 playthroughs than do that. 😅 As long as my equipment carries over in NG+, VH should be a lot more manageable... hopefully.
If I knew I'd be doing 2 runs, I would've saved the free DLC for the 2nd one. It didn't make too much of a difference though, so hopefully it won't be needed, -

Platinum #190 - Days Gone
I was originally hoping to get this done by Halloween, but it was longer than expected. 😅 Great game though, glad I didn't rush it.
-
One Percenter Go above and BEYOND, unlocking every trophy in Days Gone Difficulty: 3/10 Enjoyment: 9/10 Playtime: 90~ hours (estimate via days counter) This game was so much better than I expected it to be, I shouldn't have put it off for so long. How has this not gotten a sequel?! Overall both the story & gameplay are great, you can play stealthily or just do a head-on assault in most cases. Trophies are all pretty easy & can be done on any difficulty, the only thing I really focused on during my playthrough was the one for looting 541 human enemies, then I just had some collectables & miscellaneous things left to do in post-game (don't think there's any missables). I'll definitely be doing the extra trophies eventually, but for now I wanna start something different...
-
We have a topic for Desktop images, so I thought we could use one for Smartphones too. Right now I'm using the same image on both my Android & PC, but every time I touch the screen on my phone, it makes a water-like ripple effect (fancy, right? ).

[Genshin Impact] Over the year I've been playing this game, there's only been 1 character I went for & didn't get... around 8 months later (give or take), I can finally say I got her.
I had enough primos to hit pity 3 times, so I was getting her either way. Thankfully I won the 50-50 this time though, so now I have 20K primos leftover that will be saved for later.
I even did 20 pulls on the weapon banner for the first time ever, & by some miracle I got a 5* pull in that 20... however it was just a Skyward Spine (which I already have 2 of), so I'm not going to push my luck anymore there... 😅

Platinum #189 -Senran Kagura: Bon Appetit! (+100%)
The plat drought finally ends!
It may've only been a 20-30 hour plat, but this is now my longest one, taking me over 4 months to finish (just for reference, Mugen Souls took 3 months). 😅
-
Senran Kagura Bon Appetit! Thank You for Cooking!! Obtained all trophies of the Hanzo x Crimson Squad pack. Difficulty: 7/10 Enjoyment: 6/10 Playtime: 21:12:53 (4 months, 2 days, 17 hours) I heard this was a good choice for someone if you're interested in trying out the rhythm game genre, as it's fairly easy when compared to the others out there... For the most part, that seems to be true, however there's 1 trophy in this game that triples the difficulty of what should be an easy game, that is the aptly named "Finally!" trophy. That crap was a nightmare to do, it took me days of practicing the same damn song over & over till I finally got it (you can probably add 10-15 hours just for that, because I never bothered saving after the countless fails). Other than said trophy, everything else is basic & simple grinding (barely even reaching a 2/10 in terms of difficulty). Everything beside Finally! can be done on easy, but playing on normal is recommended because it'll cut down additional grinding required at the end (plus easy is pretty boring, normal is just about right on most songs). Thankfully you don't even have to touch the hard difficulty, because that is idiotically difficult & should never be touched... If you're wondering why it took me 4 months to do it, it's because I made the not-so-wise decision of doing the mentioned trophy fairly early, which completely burnt me out on this game to the point I didn't want to touch it for months. 😑 I mean, overall it was okay, but I'm not exactly jumping at the opportunity of starting another rhythm game anytime soon. 😅
-
[Genshin Impact] I can't count how many times I've been screwed over by RNG in this game, but this almost makes up for it.
If they would've just given this to everybody for the anniversary (instead of just 10%), I believe Mihoyo could've avoided a lot of that backlash that happened back then... but at least we got the Qiqi meme out of all that chaos, which I made into a start button for my PC. 😂

This is just the anime version of the "Have you played the game above you?" thread. Just say if you seen the anime the person above you posts, then post yours. Also, feel free to say if you thought the anime was great or lame, maybe this will help someone find a new anime to start watching too! Here's mine, Shakugan no Shana

Well it's done, I'm finally all caught up with One Piece (dub)!
Took me a little over 2 months, but I'm up to episode 732 now. 😅 I won't be continuing via the subs, I'll just be waiting for the rest of the dubs now. I think they release around 12 episodes a month? So that's not too bad (considering most only get 1 a week), & if I'm not mistaken, the next batch should be coming up fairly soon? Good thing too, because 732 seems to be right towards the end of the Dressrosa arc. - Show previous comments 1 more

I wasn't planning on doing it that quick, I was thinking it'd take me at least till the end of the year. 😅 It was a lot better than I remembered though, there was some annoying filler at times, but overall it my interest in it stayed fairly strong.
Honestly the last super long anime that I've enjoyed this much was probably Fairy Tail.
-
Damn congrats man!
I can't do shows that long, I'm with @funboy1246 I lose interest.
It's a marvel you did it in such short a time too. I feel I need to do the math lol

-
[Genshin Impact] Another version update, & 2 more characters for the collection.
I also got Sucrose & Xiangling to C6 during my pulls on this banner as well.
I still have about 10K primos left too, I may do some more pulls later to try for some extra copies of Sara (she's just C1 currently), or I may just save them for the next banner I wanna pull on (I'm skipping Kokomi). - Show previous comments 4 more

@Masamune Makes sense that the Hu Tao Rerun Banner might be after Ver 2.2 and might be the 1st or 2nd banner of Ver 2.3 that starts around end of October/November (each version lasts 40 days) but I might skip the rerun banners since I already have Hu Tao and Ganyu and don't care about Albedo(but then again I always skip the male 5* banners)
@Honor_Hand Then Ver 2.2 might be the timeout we can get and if true it's only rerun banners with one new 4*(Thoma), then we can save a lot of Primogems/Intertwined Fates.

Still working on One Piece, up all the way to episode 484 now. 😅 Those last couple episodes though... damn. 😢

I went to a store that had all these different kinds of specialty hot sauces, so I couldn't leave without grabbing at least 1 of them.
I decided on one called "Da' Bomb"...
There's a warning on the side that says to keep away from children, & to only use 1 drop at a time... well after putting that single drop on my tongue, I know know that warning is well placed (there's no way that's just 100K scovilles). 😂 It only took a second for the heat to spread to my whole mouth & throat, & for the first 5-10 minutes it just seems to get hotter...
This stuff is habanero-based, but it's probably 2-3 times hotter than my last habanero sauce I tried... it also has chipotle peppers in it as well, but you won't even taste them over the pure heat. It definitely won't be something I can use as a pure dipping sauce like I usually do either, but it'll probably be good mixed in with some BBQ sauce, used in curry, or maybe a single drop on a piece of pizza. 😅 -
[Genshin Impact] Time to show off my new 5* character!
I've been looking forward to getting Yoimiya for quite a while now, skipping Ayaka in favor of her was an easy choice for me.
Despite the hate she gets from the meta community, she's just as good as I was expecting. It's like they're incapable of doing basic math to see the awesome damage her normal attacks can do, all they seen was her attacks aren't AoE & automatically declared her trash... oh well, their loss. 😅
I also got the 4* Sayu, she's only half built though since I didn't have time to farm mats for both her & Yoimiya. Looking forward to using her as well.

My luck sucks. 😢 I wasn't able to get Yoimiya last night. I ended up getting Qiqi'd instead. Now I have her in C2. I was already working on upgrading her but I guess I'll be giving her more priority now. I know she's not the best 5* but she's a cute healer at least. 😔
The rest of my pulls last night were 1 Xinyan, 2 Xianglings, three 4* weapons, 1 Diona, and at least I was able to get 2 Sayus. Sayu is cool. I love how you can go all Sonic spin dash mode with her on the overworld, lol. 😂 Now I can make a full squadron of lolis since I have all 4 of them.
I will probably roll a few more on this banner not with the hopes of getting Yoimiya but more with the purpose of preparing my next 100% pity for when Baal comes out. Damn... I like archers more, I think I'd preferred Yoimiya way more than Baal.

@WerneyPark Sorry, wasn't exactly ASAP (blame Genshin 2.0). I assume you wanted Asuna for both?

Genshin Impact Lightning-Riding Treasure Hunter (III) Open 300 Chests on Narukami Island, Kannazuka, and Yashiori Island in Inazuma. If I'm not mistaken, that's the last trophy that can be obtained in this version of the game (I doubt you can hit Lv8 reputation before 2.1). So I'm all caught up with Inazuma's quests & exploration for now... yes, I did that way too quick (I wasn't even rushing either, I watched/read all the scenes). 😂
-
[Genshin Impact] So apparently Genshin will be having their first collab character added in version 2.2... even more surprising, we get her for free (PS users get her in 2.2, others in 2.3).
The character is Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, I wouldn't have been able to guess that in a million years. 😅

@Masamune A collab with another gacha game or another anime would've made more sense, I have to agree with that. But still, it's very cool to see a proper adaptation of a character from a PlayStation universe into the world of Genshin. Really makes you think that there are no limits to the possibilities of what characters could get into the game.
The collab is for 2.1, right? Or is it 2.2? I'm a bit confused now. I've seen conflicting information on this.
@Leon Castle Definitely aiming for Kokomi and Baal myself.
Now... that's too many waifus for the upcoming banners. The meager amount of gems I have won't be able to get even half of them. 😅
-
@Leon Castle I'm really hoping that'll be the case, I was already planning on skipping Kokomi, so if Baal & Sara are on the second banner, that'll be perfect (much like my plans for this version: skipping Ayaka, then going for Yoimiyu/Sayu).
I thought I heard about another unannounced 4* possibly in 2.1 as well though? If so, I guess they'd be on Kokomi's banner.
*Yoimiya
-
@Honor_Hand The collab(Both Aloy and her bow) is for 2.1(PS4/5 only) and 2.2(All Versions) at least that I understand from reading both Gematsu and Crunchyroll.
Unless Yae Miko gets added in 2.2 or 2.3(I doubt she's the another unannounced 4* if there is one as she's a Electro and that would be one too many Electro Users in a version with already two new Electro Users) then I might get a break from waifu wishing... maybe.
-
[Genshin Impact] Tonight the archipelago will be gone, who knows how long it'll be till it returns... have to admit, I'm going to miss the scenery there (OST wasn't too bad either).
I think I'll even miss that hilichurl family on Minacious Isle... I killed them so many times.
Fischl's laugh was so well placed at the end there, I had to save it (I didn't even know she did that). 😂
-
Lovely screenshot right there. You're very hardcore into Fischl now, aren't you? I remember you didn't like her that much at first, lol.
But yeah, today is the last day of the Golden Apple Archipelago. Kinda sad to see the islands go. We only spent a few days on them but the OST was very memorable for me. Kinda gave me a Wind Waker vibe even. And the exploring and stories contained within the islands were nice too. Actually had a good time trying to figure as much as I could on my own. Not to mention that we're also taking this super cute swimsuit for Barbara as a souvenir. 😘
Here's hoping they'll bring these islands back in the future. For now, We have Inazuma to look forward to.
Also, glad I was not the only one that thought I was murderizing hilichurl families on that island. I saw the two small guys running and the big guy on the side and thought the same exact thing, lmao. 😂
-
Yeah, I had a pretty bad first impression of her. Once I got her to C6 & focused completely on buffing her Oz skill though, she became a huge help in battle (especially with my cryo/physical DPS characters). If I'm not mistaken, I still have her attack & burst talents at Lv1 too. 😅
Just judging from the trailer video, I think both the scenery & OST of Inazuma will be far better than the islands too.
-
Wha?! You still have Fischl's attack at lvl 1? Whoa. 😅 Definitely try raising her attack next. I know I use mine mostly for physical attacks. Raised that attack of hers to the max once I saw a video on YouTube saying she could be pretty much like a machine gun with that. 😂
Agreed. I am expecting lots of great moments and sights from this new region. I'm sure it's going to deliver. Almost done downloading the patch here.

-
50 episodes of One Piece down... too many to count to go. 😂 I think I'm making decent progress though, I watched all that in under a week. Still not up to where I dropped it before, but I can tell I'm enjoying it more than the 4kids version from my childhood at least. 😅
Also I don't remember Nami's backstory being that depressing, damn. 😢
-
-
-
@enaysoft Yeah, I think it's just under 1,000 right now (or a little over 700 if you go the dub route like I am). 😅 Even if I keep up this pace, I probably won't be caught up till around October/November. 😂
-
-
I did something today I thought I'd never do... I started One Piece. 😅 I have seen some of it before, but dropped it... I figured I could give it another shot though (even though I really hate Usopp).
Before I made it at least to the point where that reindeer character joins, but since it's been so long (15+ years?), I just started back from episode 1. So what, only 700+ episodes till I reach the current (dubbed) season? 😂
Also to be fair, when I dropped it before, this was back when the dub was by 4kids... I feel that was a sufficient enough reason to do so. 😅

@The Arizona Ranger Yeah, that was pretty much my first experience with One Piece as well, I remember it being in that Saturday morning block too. 😂 The stuff 4Kids do to their series is a total joke, honestly I'm amazed I watched as much of it as I did back then. 😅
I also have limited internet myself, but thankfully there's no overage charges with my ISP (the speed just gets throttled down to around 400KB/s). Still though, I doubt I'll be getting caught up with the series very quick, I'll mainly work on it when I don't have anything else to watch... currently 12 episodes in, so I'm around 1.7% caught up!
-
Yeah, I think it already went past the 1,000 episodes. At least in the subbed version, not sure about the dub. We'll probably reach the heath death of the universe first before One Piece runs out of episodes, lol. 😂
@The Arizona Ranger That's some super dedication you put there to watch all those 600 episodes in such a short time frame. Man, I don't see myself ever doing that. 😆 I didn't know 4K!ds had a bastardized version of the anime over there. First time I hear about it. I know they tried to do a number of anime adaptations (and failed miserably) but this one is completely new to me. Now, Sonic X, I totally remember watching that one and enjoying it. I would most likely hate if I watched it now, but back then I remember it was okay, lol.
Hope you can get that Starlink connection soon over there. Fingers crossed over here so that you can get a more reliable Internet provider soon, man.

The new Inazuma region in Genshin is going to be awesome, I'm really looking forward to that (hopefully this'll keep me busy for at least a month).
For anyone that's been holding off on starting it, now would be a great time to do so, there's going to be an event in this upcoming version where you can get a free Beidou (imo, one of the best 4* characters in the game). There's also the anniversary coming up as well (end of September?), I'm sure there'll be some free loot to get from that too.

The amount and quality of the new content we're getting is staggering. Super excited and 100% willing to continue my journey in Teyvat.
I really like the looks of the new Inazuma areas. From what they said on the video, it looks like we'll be getting caves and underground sections we can explore similar to the ones that were featured in Dragonspine. This is very cool, however, it does raises some doubts in me at the treasure and item collecting becoming a bit more of a hassle due to this. I mean, using that interactive map to find the Crimson Agates in Dragonspine was kind of messy, lol.
One thing I'm anticipating very much is the new soundtrack that will be featured in the Inazuma region. Very fitting that they went for the Tokyo Philarmonic Orchestra to compose this part of the OST. It's going to be epic! Can't wait! 😆
For anyone that hasn't jumped into Genshin yet, indeed, this would be the perfect time to do so. The game is moving, improving, and evolving at an amazing pace right now.
-
[Genshin Impact] Beidou finally got some screen-time in the story, & it only took them 9 months to do so. 😅 This character has been out since day 1, & was my main for months (at least half the time I've been playing). 😂
